In life, there are joys, there are pains
And everything in-between
There are times when everything seems to fall in place
And times when nothing adds up
Confused, miserable, down and torn
I gaze into the haze
My heart wrings
No one knows unerringly just how I feel
Alone in this world
Forced to endure it all
I try to stand, to be tough
A crushing sadness
I reminiscence, pondering-
‘Where did I err?’
‘What road led me here?’
I used to have it all figured out
But now I can barely recognise my life
I question my proficiencies
Am I still who I once was?
Can I ever get back to me?
Those times when everything seemed to be spot-on
This thing called reality
Life has given it a new meaning -
''A place where those who work hard aren't necessarily the ones who get the best of things''
Oh! How I have hurt
How I have been bruised
How I have been hit, fallen and smashed
Crushed, broken and bruised
Several times I try to get back up
Hardly on my feet
Yet a storm blows me down again
For how long will this linger?
These icy, solitary days
Music has become my only true companion
Let me bleed
Let the tears stream
Let the pain wash over me
Someday I'll smile again
Not a smile I'll have to fake
For now I'll take my hits
I'll fall to rise tougher
This is me finding my way through life
Serenity, tranquillity, time, patience
All I need
Someday, I'll smile...peace in my storm
